How to change the style and background of the Squeeze login screen?

[Rick Thomas <rbthomas@pobox.com>]

No offense intended to anyone involved, but I don't like the stars and  
spaceships look of the new Squeeze login screen. Tastes differ, and my  
taste differs from that.

In Lenny I had a bunch of options for the login screen and could  
almost always find one that fit for the particular machine I was  
installing.  But now, with gdm3, I seem to be stuck with stars and  
spaceships.

I tried installing gdm, which (as expected) wanted to replace gdm3  
(which was fine with me) but it also wanted to delete a *whole*  
*bunch* of other stuff as well.  I have no idea if I need that other  
stuff -- or am I just as well off without it?

Is there some easy way I can get my login screen options back?


Thanks!

Rick
